Dear Friends,
As the de-cluttering epidemic has spread from my classroom to my home, tonight, I came across an unread issue of Scientific American Mind. Two headlines grabbed my dispersed attention.
According to one article, Age Brings Happiness, by Karen Schrock Simring, research has shown that, "Well-being increases over everyone's lifetime." I had to laugh out loud! Obviously, the study that claims, "We can all look forward to feeling more content as we age," didn't include people like me, my mother or sister!
The other article, by Melinda Wenner Moyer, explains, "Why Older Adults Are Too Trusting." Apparently, as activity in the aging brain's "anterior insula" drops, we become naive. Once again, the study was conducted without my family's participation.
Since both, resentment and scepticism, run deep in me, clearly, I have to accept and file that, although only fourteen months short of six decades, I'm far from being old! How sweet it is the contentment that comes with gullibility! What have you accepted and filed today?
